James Wright, 70, of Bassett; Skyler Pevon Malddonaldo, 23, of Collinsville; and Deputy Chris Spencer were all injured around 7 p.m. on Route 57 at Mount Harmon Church Road west of Bassett.

All three were taken to Memorial Hospital of Martinsville, and Wright was later flown to Roanoke Memorial Hospital.

Wright, in a Dodge Neon, was waiting to turn left on the westbound side when Malddonado's Saturn rear-ended him, troopers said. The Saturn kept going onto the eastbound side and hit Spencer's patrol vehicle.

The exact conditions of all three victims haven't been released. Charges are pending against Malddonado, troopers said.
